How do you know if you suck at poker or if it is just variance, when you are new the game and are not sure if you are playing correctly?
Do you just fold and only bet the nuts, or how do I do this...?
My stats are 17/10/3, but am only breaking even... Do I thigthen up even more, or what do I do?
There is so much to say about this post in reference to your HH's that I amnot sure if someone will post before I get the chance

First off, you don't guess what they are holding. It's a group of hands, which hand will call, which hands will fold and which hands will raise. In the JJ hand you have OESD and overpair. This is a pretty strong hand. What hands will call those flop and turn bets? He can see a 89T draw heavy board as well as you. when the 6 falls on the turn, what hands are left that can call bets that called preflop? Lastly, what hand do you beat on the river that can still be around after the betting. I would like you to point out one hand that you beat on the river.

None of this is variance. You suck, we all pretty much suck, that's why we are here. Get better. You do not ever need to be the best player, just the best player at your table/tables.

You know this answer. It's not about wining hands, it's about winning money. Look at the best players on this site, their W$SD is around 50%, meaning they win almost as many showdowns as they lose. What does this tell you. Seriously, Answer this.

This is the final piece. Who the hell cares about your stats. You just posted two hands and not a thing was mentioned about the villains. Did you have any thoughts on either of these hands other than what you had? What was the dynamics surrounding these hands. Poker is not one hand in a bubble, stop playing as though it is.
